Chapter 271: Looney

Meanwhile...

"Oh no..." Pixy covered her lips, eyes glued to her phone. "Is this true?"

Megan, sipping juice beside her in a café, arched a brow. "What is it?"

Pixy moved closer to her.

The two read the newest article about an actress. It claimed she was the mistress of a married politician, whose children were the same age as hers. There was also a photo of the actress entering a hotel, and another of the politician entering the same hotel.

Although the photos were blurred, it was obvious who the article was about.

"Wow," Megan said in awe. "What’s her role in Angel’s Revenge again?"

Pixy pursed her lips. "She auditioned for the same role as Melissa’s."

The two women exchanged glances; they didn’t need words to understand the situation. Megan had already confirmed Lola’s story through emails and other evidence in Manager Kang’s laptop, and Pixy had been brought up to speed.

"Megan, you’re sure about what you’ve seen, right?" Pixy asked quietly, glancing around. "You didn’t misread anything?"

"Pixy, do you think I would mistake something like that?" Megan scoffed. "I read what I read. All those endorsements and small projects Melissa had done in the past were originally offered to us."

Pixy sighed. "Do you think Melissa knows about them?"

"Pixy, just the other day, you said you didn’t feel like Melissa saw us as friends. Now you’re backpedaling."

"It’s just... I said that because I was feeling down about our careers, about how we’ve been treated," Pixy explained. "I didn’t think you’d sneak into Manager Kang’s office. What if you were caught?"

"He’s too busy trying to get Melissa her role in Angel’s Revenge," Megan leaned back.

"Still, why would Melissa steal all our projects? They’re not even major projects," Pixy muttered. "Besides, she’s pretty and comes from a well-off family—"

"She’s a daughter of a mistress, Pixy," Megan cut her off. "She didn’t come from a well-off family. The rich one in the Young family is Lola’s mother. Don’t you know that? If not for the Alberts, Melissa is just like us."

Pixy pressed her lips into a thin line, staring at Megan’s profile. She had to admit it scared her, but Megan was tougher. Now that Megan knew about Manager Kang and Melissa’s schemes, she wasn’t about to overlook the truth. Unlike Pixy, who would try to find an explanation for others’ actions.

"Then, what are we going to do?" Pixy asked. "Director Sarian’s assistant sent us the schedule for the screen taping. But if we go there, we’ll bump into Manager Kang."

"He’s not going to do anything once we’re already there. He wouldn’t just say he lied to Director Sarian," Megan crossed her arms. "And with that article, it’s possible Melissa will get the role anyway if they fall behind schedule."

She paused, facing Pixy. "Pixy, we’ve been struggling for a long time, forced to live in other people’s shadows. I want to shine too. We came to a big city to pursue our dreams, but until now, it’s been so far away—not because we aren’t trying, but because people we trusted have been blocking us."

"If we don’t act now, we’ll be stuck like this forever," Megan added under her breath, squeezing Pixy’s hand. "Besides, why should we be the ones scared or ashamed? When we did nothing wrong?"

Conflict flickered in Pixy’s eyes as she held Megan’s hands tightly. She nodded, and Megan smiled.

"What about Melissa?" Pixy asked quietly. "Should we confront her?"

"No." Megan smiled. "I have a plan for her, but first we need to get into Angel’s Revenge."

Ring... ring...

The two women paused, looking at Megan’s phone on the table. Megan picked it up and froze when she saw the caller. It was Melissa.
